Because I just put this list together for a friend, I thought I post it here. 
Below are a few books I have enjoyed reading in the last few years, with 4 of my all-time favorites on top! I tend to focus more on non-fiction but understand that my topics might not be other people’s topics … so I tried to keep it balanced and applicable to most tastes.
